1 week out.. Do you think the more protein



Recommended Posts

Ok so I am one week out. So I feel like I am not getting any results. Maybe I'm just a little anxious

Or I am not doing something right. I know it's still early. I am now trying to get on a Protein Shake, drinking my Water and my dr said I can move on to yogurts and soft noodles. So the more Proteins will it make the weight come off??? IDK IM SO CONFUSED!!

The high Proteins are to preserve your muscle mass. Just the fact that your body is now in starvation mode will cause the weight to come off. We just want it to come off the body fat, not the muscle. Remember, at this point you should only be drinking 4 oz. a meal of your Protein Drink or 4 tbs. of greek yogurt. Don't try to take in more than that (like I mistakenly did) or it could blow a hole in your new sleeve. Sometimes it can take a few weeks for the body to adapt to all it's been through, but the weight will come off. I'm only 16 days out and have already had a stall. We just have to be patient and give it time.

Unjury Protein mix tasted the best to me of all the protein mixes,shakes, bars etc. that I tried and believe me I bet I spent $400 trying them! Honestly I still didn't get my required protein in after all that. I think most people struggle with getting the protein in at first. When you get to the stage that you can eat fish and other meats you won't have to worry about it.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
